The switch plate, wiring, seals, and hardware needed to install this electric waste valve on your RV's black water tank are included. The switch plate installs in the RV's control panel. The waste valve secures to existing pipes using ABS solvent cement (A05-0303 - sold separately). A booklet with step-by-step instructions and a template for drilling are also included.
You can also adapt the valve to work with your gray-water tank. A gray switch plate is included for that purpose. For this installation, you will need to use adapters (sold separately) to convert the valve opening from 3" to 1-1/2" in diameter.
If you're dry camping or in the case of a power failure, the manual override is easy to use. Simply remove the pin from the valve's lift arm and turn the handle 90 degrees clockwise. Then pull the handle to open the valve.

I replaced the 2 manual valves with 2 E40A-8’s...one of the best upgrades I’ve done with my Renegade RV.... Easy installation......Great product..... Great price..... Thanks etrailer.... You’re still the best.....
by: James 01/01/2021
A very useful valve, hope it works better than the last one! The last one of these had the plastic break where it opens the valve. This new one seems to be different, hope it's stronger! Just wish it wasn't the black tank! etrailer was especially helpful with a UPS problem but got a new one out to us right away. Very nice people to deal with!
by: James08/14/2020
Fits properly, performs excellent. It would awesome if they would make a way to have 2 switches, one inside and one outside.
by: Brad B09/30/2019
I had to replace and old valve that had jammed on me. The original valve was installed about 4 years earlier. When they work they are great. when they don't, the sewers back up. I had to manually open up the old valve in order to flush the tank before replacement.

I purchased this valve to replace the cable operated valve in my camper. It was very easy to install and works great. I should have done this years ago.

Got it today thought I’ll probably put in Saturday and as I took it out of the box the manual lever lock was broke and filed down to make it look like it was meant to be. And it also said that it comes with the black and gray water switch, it only came with the black tank one. Direction should have been included, right nope.

Installation was easy…. Getting to them was the hard part.
Taking down the underbelly was less than fun. Cutting holes in it was even a worse idea.
But, installation went well. Great product, super fast open and close, easy to wire and made my own console for the switches which wasn’t hard either.
Had to put them in different directions due to the main sewer drain being in the way but the auto gate valves do not care which way they go, they work fine either way. Just hope they last as I really don’t like working on my back….

I installed 3 of these valves on my RV, i've had them for a year now with no problems with the valves themselves the only issue was one of the switch red lights that lets you know it's open went out but really don't need it, I am very pleased
by: Andy Parish07/28/2017
Except for having to make some minor modifications to my flanges (they were bowed out between the bolt holes) so the actuators were clearing the flange, the install was easy. The flange issue is not the valve manufacturers fault, just how the flange was made. My old valves were cable style and cheap and these will be a great upgrade on Leaky crappy valves. I was tired of getting the sewer surprise every time I dumped. etrailer delivered on time and at a good value.
by: Tankerman04/07/2022
Nice valve for remote operation . The wiring is 4 ft from switch to motor/valve, and 3 ft of wire for power. I replaced power wire with a 10 ft piece which was only $9 bucks. Take pic of switch wiring cause you need to remove wires from switch to pass wires through any holes you drill in floor and cabinets, etc . Watch out for water , electric wires when drilling holes. Hole needs to be at least 1/2”for wire ends to pass through. If wood is thick I would do 5/8” hole . Pass big wire ends through first and smaller next. Or cut wire ends off and recrimip new ends after running wires.

Every things was in the package , arrive at the time its was schedule .
The installation went very good and easy , to dot it your self if you are manuel its will work find.
I change a existing cable valve with this electric waste valve , the only bad situation was to work under the RV .
The valve work great .

Switch installed backwards
by: Karl K08/12/2019
The Drain Master cam-lock waste water hose is second to none, but after having to use a small allen wrench to manually open/close a failed Drain Master black tank valve, I replaced both with this Valterra assembly. They require a fair amount of space above them to open, but it is much easier to manually operate them, if necessary. They are well-constructed. No leaks, no problems after a year of use, and etrailer offered quick delivery and excellent customer service.
Keep in mind-- the switches are a rocker design that makes open/close positions less obvious, and in bright sun, the red led may be hard to see. I learned this while flushing out my black tank. After I was finished, I reinserted the stopper, thinking the black tank valve was closed. The next time I went to drain the tanks, I took the stopper out, and had a 40 gallon gusher of raw sewage! One thing I can say about all my RV mistakes- I never repeat them!

Install a little hard but valve worked great.
by: Robert B.04/08/2019
This is such a great product,I don't know why it is not an option more often on a rv.I installed the control switch inside my rv near a window that looks out on the sewer connection.I have the clear 3" elbows on both hose ends of my sewer hose,and can observe from inside, the operation of emptying my black tank.Being able to do so during rainy or cold weather is such a great luxury.I have had this in operation for about a year now and it has performed flawlessly.I chose this brand over others due to the ability to manually operate valve in event of a power loss.Installation was very simple and instructions were very detailed.Will never have a rv without one now.

- Recommended Double Electric Waste ValvesWe have a solution for your double black water waste tanks but not the grey. I recommend the 3" Lug Fitting Valterra EZ Valve Double Electric Waste Valves with a rotating hubs, # E84-8.

view full answer... - Electric Waste Valve for 4 Inch Diameter Black Water Tubing Are you referring to a waste valve for your black water tank? If this is the case than are you sure you have a 4" diameter tube because the industry standard size for a black water tube is 3" diameter which is what most of our waste valves are designed to work with. We do not have any 4" diameter electric waste valves but you can reduce the 4" diameter black water tube down to a 3" diameter black water tube and use one of the following: Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve part # E40A-8...

The wire lead on the actual valve is about 8-1/2" long whereas the wire lead on the switch is about 7' long for each valve/switch. If you just need the electric valves then we do offer them separately, the Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve part # E40-8 (3" Hub to 3" Spigot) or the Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve part # E40A-8 (3" Spigot to 3" Spigot).

- Recommended Adapter To Use 3" Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve On 1-1/2" Gray Water TankAbsolutely! To install the Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve # E40A-8 on your gray water tank with 1-1/2" pipe you can simply use the Valterra Eccentric Tank Reducer 3" Spigot to 1-1/2" Hub # T1041-1 on each side of the waste valve to convert the 3" openings to 1-1/2". The Valterra EZ Valve # E40A-8 includes a gray water switch plate for you to use as well. You will also need Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303 for a strong leak free connection.
view full answer... - How to Choose the Correct Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve for RV Black Water TankThe difference between a hub connection and a spigot connection is that the hub is the female end and has a lip on the inside that stops the spigot (or male) end where it needs to be. I have attached some pictures to assist. With this knowledge it is just a matter of taking your valve off and choosing the correct replacement: 3" Hub to 3" Hub - # E40B-8 3" Hub to 3" Spigot - # E40-8 3" Spigot to 3" Spigot - # E40A-8 I would avoid going with the option that only has the 3" Diameter #...

- Recommended Electric Dump Valves for 2014 Sanibel 3600 5th Wheel TrailerFor the electric valves, we only have the 3 inch options. We have the hub to hub # E40B-8, the hub to spigot # E40-8, or the spigot to spigot # E40A-8. If you were to convert your 1-1/2 inch to a 3 inch, we do have the double 3 inch electric valves with 3 inch hubs # E85-8 or 3 inch hubs to lug fitting # E84-8. For your slide-out seal, I assume you are referring to weather strip tape like # WS1412 which can be combined with silicone sealants like # 0160297 for extra water protection....

If you take a look at the photo I've added you can see how one of our customers has it mounted to the side.

- Using Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank To Replace Manual ValveThe Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank part # E40A-8 is designed to replace a single 3" black water tank valve.

If you're replacing an existing valve you would just simply cut the old valve and fittings off and attach the new ones using the method above.
